examine tomorrow the first clause of

MR. WORTH WRITES
He Sends Out a Circular on How to Get
Penitentiary Claims Paid.
The following circular letter, which
will be of interest and Importance
throughout the State and especially In
Raleigh, was sent out today to the
creditor of the penitentiary:
Raleigh, June 21, 1899.
Dear Sir: Answering your inquiry as
to the payment of the State's prison
debts I will say: The $110,000 of bonds
were sold and the proceeds, $120,202.50
came into my hands. The law requires
me to hold it as a separate fund for the
payment of the debts of the State's
prison. It is plain from the reading of
chapter 007, laws of 1899, which pro
vid-s for the bond issue, and chapter
079 which appropriates $50,000 for the
support and maintanance of the State's
prison "for the year 1899," that those
debts only which became due on or be
fore December 31, 1898 are to be paid
out of the bond fund under chapter 607

"Section 1. That the sum of fifty thou
sand dollars be and the same Is hereby
appropriated for the maintenance and
support of tho State's prison for each
of the years eighteen hundred and1 nine
ty nine and nineteen hundred." No
separate part of 1899 Is mentioned. The
whole year is covered in this act. Hence
1899 debts can not be paid, any part of
them, out of the bond fund under chap
ter C07, but may be paid out of the ap
propriation chapter 679. The Attorney
General so rules. Hence separate war

on their face that they are "for debts
due up to and including December 3L
1898." Will be paid out of the bond
funds, while warrants for debts since
are payable out of the funds provided
under chapter G79 the appropriat'on.
All warrants so made are cashed on pre
sention. Regretting that this hitch end delay
has occurred and assuring you that 1
am ready and anxious to pay all proper
